Plant Care

Blonde Ambition requires minimal maintenance once established. Cut back the foliage to 4-6 inches above ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. This grass is notably disease-resistant and deer-resistant, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens. During the first growing season, water regularly to establish a deep root system.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Space plants 24-30 inches apart for optimal growth. Apply a thin layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown of the plant.

For best results, plant in groups of three or more to create a dramatic visual impact in your landscape. This grass performs exceptionally well in rock gardens, prairie-style plantings, or as a striking specimen plant. The unique seed heads provide winter interest and can be used in dried flower arrangements.
